Artisanal Crackers with Olive Oil and Rosemary – Flour, olive oil, water and rosemary are the backbone of these delicious and incredibly easy to make crispy crackers! You would pay a fortune in a gourmet food store for these. Get your cheeseboard ready…there’s a new cracker in town :).
We love how easy these are and how beautiful they look on a cheese plate!
We first posted this recipe in 2013…I know! Holy cow where have the years gone! Rachel was just kiddo and now she has a kiddo! I was, well not a kiddo, but certainly a wrinkle or two less than now. Not complaining, I like my wrinkles just fine (such a liar).
We used a standing mixer with dough hook to make this gourmet cracker dough but your hands will work just as well.
Such a simple recipe.
After your dough has rested 20 minutes.
Cut your dough into 8 pieces.
Each piece will make 2 big crackers.
You can easily adjust this to smaller or larger crackers by just using more or less dough.
The trick to making crispy Rosemary Crackers is to roll the dough out as thin as possible.
For some reason I do not own, nor have I ever owned, a rolling pin. I use a wine bottle….I used to use Rachels play dough rolling pin and I loved it! It was perfect! But I lost that on the move from Seattle to Palm Springs along with about a dozen other prized possessions. Where does that stuff go? Story for another time….
TIPS for the perfect Rosemary Cracker:
- Baked on a lightly oiled sheet pan, parchment lined or a silpat.
- Roll as thin as you can. You don’t want to see through the dough but make them fairly thin so they crisp up. The durable dough won’t tear.
- Preheat your oven!
- To make cheesey crackers, sprinkle your cheese on the cracker halfway through baking time. Because it takes 12 minutes to cook and the oven is pretty hot, the cheese will burn if left on the entire time (mmmm, how do you think I know that :).

I was wondering if bread flour would be ok to use .
Maria Jeanne says
Can I use dried rosemary and, if so, what should I do differently?
Kathi & Rachel says
Yes you can use dried. I would simply just soften it up in my hands by gently rolling in my palms without breaking it too much.
Kelly says
These. look delicious, Can you use a pasta dough roller?
Kathi & Rachel says
Yes, I think that would work great!
Jen says
Do you think I could put the dough through my kitchen aid pasta roller? These look amazing!
Kathi & Rachel says
I think thats brilliant! :).
Lindsey says
These were delicious! I did roll them out so thin that they only took 7 minutes in the oven and had more of a tortilla chip consistency. Thank you so much for the easy recipe as well!
Robyn Dunne says
These are so good, very easy to make and delicious. My go to crackers. I used a soft, low protein plain flour which made the crackers crisper than when I used a regular plain flour. My family love them.
Naz says
Better than store bought by far and easy to make! Thank you. It’s my “go to” cracker recipe.
Kathi & Rachel says
So glad you liked them! Thank you for the nice comment :).

Ariane says
Great recipe! Very simple and tasty.
Holly says
These were so easy to make and a wonderful way to use my fresh rosemary. I did add some garlic to the dough and it came out great and they smelled amazing while they were baking. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Anne Mackenzie says
Anyone tried substituting Almond Flour to make a low carb version?
Jo-Ann says
These are delicious and yes a snap to make! Thanks ladies for your inspirational; recipes!
Vaul Martin Jr says
Made these as written and they are amazingly delicious! Thank you for emphasizing the thinner, the better when rolling them out. Never will I buy crackers again.
Kathi & Rachel says
Thank you! So glad you loved them!
Em says
These are amazing but why is it that I can’t get the lovely bubbles in mine 🙁
Food For Feast says
I’m a cracker nut, plus I have so much rosemary on the terrace. Thanks for sharing.
Anonymous says
Hi, I made these and they were delicious! I added fresh rosemary and salt directly to the floured surface, so these spices were integrated into the cracker dough as I rolled them out. Will try these with fresh parsley next time. Thanks, Megan
